There is a place where beaches are made not of sand, but of the skeletons of millions of fish. Luxury yacht clubs are now frequented only by pigeons, vacation homes lay open to the elements and RV camp grounds look more like burial grounds.

I found these incredible panoramic photographs from the roaring twenties which are just fascinating to observe close up, girl by girl, one bizarre bathing costume after another. Even better, these prints are available to buy in formats as large as 44″ x 227″. How amazing would these be in an entrance hallway?! CLICK ON IMAGES [...]

Fifty years too early, here I am dreaming about my retirement; sleepy days, rich foods, peaceful hobbies, unspoilt surroundings. I am what they would call, an old soul. With that pesky legal retirement age on the rise, we may not get there, any time soon but hey, we can still dream. Or at least look forward to summer [...]
I‘m going to be all predictable and say that I was definitely, definitely born in the wrong decade. Or at least that’s how I feel today. Images via here, here and here.
I think the reason why most of the hotspot holiday destinations have such an emphasis on nightlife is because they have to make up for the fact that everybody gets so bloody bored during the day. Going back and forth from hotel bed to sun bed on a manicured beach some 1o feet away from [...]
Paris has shut down. I’ve never actually witnessed a major city close up shop in such a way. Seletaped to the windows of Parisian shop fronts, cards written in large, over-excited shorthand all say the same thing; ‘À la rentrée‘– a French way of saying “We’re buggering off now, too bad if you needed to [...]
